False Hope (?)

2011-01-18T11:40:00.000-05:00

Alright, this one's done for now. I wanted a chaotic texture, so I made extensive use of palette knives. I'll let it dry and then do a bit of touch up and glazing. I left the vultures out for now, but I might add them during the glaze phase. The working title "False Hope" doesn't make very much sense without them, but titles are arbitrary and easy to change. I like the sky the way it is, and I'm concerned about comprimising the mood by getting too precious with details. We'll see. Thanks for looking!

This was originally intended to be a screen print design for the table runners at my wedding, but the "art director" (now wife) rejected it. So, I dug it out of the sketchbook and painted it.
